No. "a was asked to join in it, but the
old Executive Board, which was con.

Powderly men, refused to have
anything to do with the
scheme. This was last November.
With the new year that Execu-
tive Board was released, and radical
board took its place. Then the boy
colt matter was brought up again and
passed in the assembly. l know Mr..
Powderly is opposed to it because it
places him in a bad light. After he

A VERY FRESH LABOR MAN
CLAIMS THAT HE WAS OFFERED
A BRIBE
To Vote for Mr.. Farwell-A Ripple
OfExcitemeSt Runs through
the Illinois House.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, February "a
ripple of excitement was caused in the
House this morning, by Mr.. Merritt
dem. rising to question OF privi-
lege and reading an article in ST..
Louis paper, giving report of
speech made by Representative Bailey
(Labor) before a. Labor meeting in
East st. Louis on the evening of jan
nary 30th, in which he stated that
while the Labor caucus was bslloting
for Senator, Mr.. Dixon Labor had
been called out by prominent busi-
ness man of Chicago and told In G fl ct
that votes for Mr.. Farwell we're worth
from $1,000 to $4,000. Mr.. Merritt
wanted an explanation Of the article.
Mr.. Bailey stated that he had sub
stautially stated wha' the article rep
resented him as saying. Mr.. Merritt
waited to know II tn person who Of.
ferei the bribD was member Of the
House. Calls were made for Mr.
Dixon, who said he saw nothing in the
article to indicate that the person was
member of the House. He statsd
that he had been called out oi the eau.
Gus by business man from Chicago,
who proposed to him that il he DIX.
ON would control five votes he could
control the same number, and thus
book the election Of Mr.. Far we'll, aod
that there was big speculation in 1t.
Mr.. Dixon said, in reply, that he in
dignantly repelled the proposition,
and returned to the caucus and in
formed his colleagues.
A voice-Was the man who made
the proposition a member Of this
Houss?
Dixon He was not.
Mr.. Merritt stated that he had been
in the Legislature nineteen years and
that he had never been offered a
bribe. 1t remained for the Immediate
leader OF the labor pfrty OF Chicago
to receive such proposition before he
had been in the House ten dayR, then
to skulk away and get his name in the
newspapers, instead of c)miug on the
floor OF the House, as was his duty,
and make the matter known.
Further discussion was prevented
by the Speaker announcing that the
question of privilege had bsen ex-
hausted.

The New York Herald's Washing
ton correspondent, writing very point
edly about Bsck's attorney bill, says
that when Secretary Manning and the
Government Actuary, Elliott, exposed
the swindling provisions Of Mr..
Hoar's Pacific funding bill, he and
those other members Of the Judiciary
Committee who had agreed to it-for
all did not - ought to have been
"clamorous" to explain how they
came to offer the Senate, on their
honor as Senators, measure which
had every appearance of having been
drawn by Senatorial attorneys, who
would 60 to Jail If Mr.. B,ck's horrible
bill were ths law. Bat the Senators

ESPECIAL TO TIE APPEAL
JACKSON, MISS, February 2.-The
Committee Of Arrangements for the
approaching Dairymen and Fruit
Growers's Convention at this place,
met again last night, pursuant to the
call OF the chairman, the Hon. w. L.
Hemingway. Reports of various sub.
committees showed activity on their
part, and developed lively and &C.
tive interest in the convention among
the people at large. A communication
from the Hon. j. F. Merry, general
Western passenger agent OF the Illinois
Central railroad, who first conceived
the idea of holding the convention,
and whose enterprise and energy has
contributed 80 much to it, says: "a
letter from gentleman this morning
advises mel that Chickasaw county,
Iowa, will have thirty packages Of
creamery and dairy butter for the
Jackson convention. We shall place
Car on our special train for the
butter exhibits, and it locks now
as if the car would be very

will certainly make very foe ex.

at what this convention is going to do
for them, and l have the utmost con-
fidence in you that the local part Of
the programme will be carried out to
the letter. have now six men on
the road in Illinois, Wisconsin, Ne.
brasks and Dakota Territory, putting
up excursion bills for this convention.

actively at work, and say to you that
your city will be taxed to its utmost
capacity. Plan largely and literally,
and let them 90 out from this meeting
with such an enthusiasm for Missis-
sippi and her wonderful resources as
will attract attention all over the
world.
I have inserted a fiftylline notice in
1850 newspapers, going into 100000
families, and there Is no question but
that we shall have an immense train
north of the Ohio river. So far all the
speakers have responded, and ! shall

dozen or more prominent gsntlem an

dentally occur.

will spread the news OF the Jackson

He further states that the Illinois
Central will sell tickets at the rate Of
one cent per mile each way from all
points on the Southern division in
eluding It's branches. Cream separaters
and vario1s articles of machinery and
implements connected with the dairy
industry will be on exhibition and in
operation. Everything points TO bic
and successful convention, and the

TIE Senate has been for some years
the stronghold of corporations, says
the New York HerGlds Washington
correspondent. 1t has, year after
year, defeated, or by ingenious devices
prevented, action on measures Of vital
public importance, because those
measures sought to force great and
powerful corporations to keep their
contracts with the Government and
the people. 1t is needless to say that
there are many Senators guiltless in
this matter and faithful to the people.
But the zeal, the unscrupulous cum
ming, the unwearying pertinacity of
other Senators in defence Of corpora
tons against the peoples rights and
interests is conspicuous whenever a
bill which affects land grant railroad
or any other great corporation is to be
dealt with in the Senate.

MISS VAN ZANDT'S AUNT
Grieves over the kash steps Her
Niece Has Taken.

PITTsBURG, Pa, February Mrs.
John Arthurs, aunt OF Mrs. Spies, nee
Van Zindt, was VISITED by reporter
today. "The news" said she, "was a
total surprise to me, as thought that
she had renounced all idea of marry

trip. Some of her friends who lived
about 1000 miles from her have writ

them until all this excitement has
blown over. was of the opinivn
that che would accept the offer and
would settle down and calmly look the
situation in the face. II she could realize
the full force of the blow sho has
stuck at her grand parents, she might
still be prevailed on to alter her course.

permit this imam GUS marriage to
stand. II It should be decided bind

between her past and future life. l
can think Of nothing else than that
Nina is, and has been suffer-
ing from mental alteration, from
which she will not recover until she
has had an opportunity to calmly con-
slider her position" In conclu sion
Mrs. Arthurs says: "Sinoe this unen-
vlable notoriety las been thrust upon

from all parts Of the country soliciting
money and rendering advice in regard

In ANSWER to a correspondent, we
have to say that there are Eve distinct
groups, we cannot say parties, in the
English House Of Commons-(1) the
Conservatives, who support the Sails
bury administration; (2) the Liberals,
who follow Mr.. Gladstone; (3) the
Liberal Unionists, who are behind
Lord Harrington; (4) the rather in.
significant personal following Of Lord
Randolph Churchill; and (5) the Irish
party. No one Of these has a major.
ity. Lord Salisbury cannot govern
without Liberal Unionist support and
Mr. Gladstone can acc ompli,h nothing
without the aid OF the Irish members.
In this stats of parties nothing def.
mite in the way Of legislation is looked
for at this session.

1T Is expected that Mr.. Randalrs
tariff bill will be taken up next Mon
day, when he will make his motion to
20 into Committee of the Whole for the
purpose of considering bills relating
to the reduction of the tariff and inter-
nal revenue. This motion will bs
carried by the unanimous vote Of the
Democratic members, and no point
Of order will prevail against the
consideration OF Randall's bill as an
amendment to any other bill, because
it includes internal revenue as we'll as
tariff reduction. 1t is not thought that
the Virginia and North Carolina MEM
bers will be suited in any event. They
demand the abolition of the whole
internal revenue system, which is be.
lieved to be impossible. Failing in
that, they desire the tax on fruit
brandies removed, and as q last
resort, the repeal of the tobacco tax,

horrible accident occurred here thil
morning, by which three men were
killed outright. They were walking
on the Boston and Providence railroad
track and were struck by the steam

there were two trains coming in oppo

from one track to avoid the local train
and were run down by the other. The
men have been identified as Peter
